We already have the ability to pass multiple flags / options to the VNC driver as a post-fix to the host:port pair, so I'm not a fan of introducing a new option as a prefix. If using existing options syntax, it could look like: -vnc :5500,rev -vnc read.cs.ucla.edu:5500,rev
This doesn't feel like an option to me, though; rather a different means of connecting. Among other things, in "-vnc :0", the QEMU VNC server opens port 5900. But the client's listening port for reverse connections defaults to 5500. "-vnc :-400,rev" is clearly insane, but it seems strange for an option like ",rev" to change the meaning of the port field.
If you still disagree I'll produce a patch with ",reverse" as an option. Eddie
